The Features Of A Stereo Zoom Microscope

If you're involved in a field that requires the use of a microscope, then chances are, you have at one point reached a dilemma: to use a compound microscope or to use a stereo zoom microscope.

The most distinctive features of a stereo microscope are the two eyepieces that come with a set. A stereo microscope is like a telescope, actually. But instead of zooming in on a picturesque landscape, you will be zooming in on the cellular surface of a target specimen.

Below are the other unique features of this type of microscope.

* Two times the vision. A stereo zoom microscope is better than a compound microscope because it involves both the users' eyes. Instead of having to squeeze in one field of vision, you'd be able to utilize both eyes for a clearer view of the image.

* Perfect for solid subjects. A stereo zoom microscope is made for solid objects. It even has a hole-like base to accommodate the bulgiest specimen. If you're going to study rocks, insects, coins, stamps or other similar materials, this kind of microscope will give you the best view possible.

* Versatility. Though this type of microscope is built with solid objects in mind, it doesn't mean that it cannot process prepared slides. It can, and with equal efficiency at that. Hence, regardless of what you'll be studying, a stereo microscope is sure to give you an excellent opportunity to analyze the subject.

* Mechanical wizardry. This is perhaps the first thing that you'll ever notice with a stereo microscope. It is indeed a wonderful feat of engineering. Everything works with clockwork precision, and the functionality of the design is nothing short of beautiful.

* Optimal magnification. A stereo microscope is capable of zooming on the specimen at 10x to 40x magnification. This is a powerful feature that is perfect for any field of study. Such power will give the user the details he will need to formulate his own dissertation on the matter, as he would be able to analyze even the minutest processes that will transpire on the surface of the specimen.

* Focused light source. A bulb is located at the bottom of the focus knob, right beside the rotating objectives, and right above the stage plate. This will ensure proper illumination for the subject of the study. Even dark colored surfaces will appear clear and distinguishable with the focused light source possessed by stereo microscopes. Most stereo microscopes even come with extra bulbs for guaranteed mileage.
